I think part of it is AEW really seems to have a culture of "We do what we want".

Seems that all these issues generally pop up when somebody (production team member, another wrestler) tells another wrestler "you shouldn't' be doing that".

Lots of egos, no real "leader" in terms of somebody that commands the locker room, and Tony Khan has let too many people get a way with too much stuff TBH.

CM Punk should have probably been let go the first time there was an issue, Bucks and Elite got a paid vacation and no real punishment, same thing with Jack Perry - he got a paid vacation and came back to it being used in storyline to give him a push.

There's been no real consequences to any of the supposed "bad behavior" so it's just going to keep happening. (Part of it is the roster is just too damn big too).

The freedom does lead to a pretty good product at times, but I think TK does need to start putting a bit more structure in place around him to manage the locker room and card a little more. I think at this point WWE is probably over produced at times in terms of the match scripting and promo scripting (although sounds like that's softened a bit since Vince was forced out), but I think AEW is probably too far at the other end of the spectrum where some of the matches / promos / back stage stuff could use a little more structure.
